Homemade Potato Chips

Potato chips are available every store and vending machine with different flavors. But there is nothing like home made potato chips with salt and cayenne. Trust me it tastes so yummy and very easy to make.

Ingredients

2 Large Yukon Gold Potatoes (Makes 2 servings)
Salt to taste
Cayenne pepper to taste
1 tsp asafoetida (optional)
Vegetable Oil to fry

Methods

- Peel the potato
- Thinly slice the potatoes using a mandolin. This is needed to get really thin slices otherwise the chips won't turn out as good.

Mandolin's are usually quite expensive, so an alternate option is to get Anjali slicer from Indian store. Much more affordable and great results.

- Heat the oil in a pan.
- Mix salt, cayenne pepper and asafoetida into a bowl
- Wash the sliced potatoes in cold water 2-3 times
- Place them on a kitchen towel and pat them dry
- Now drop the chips into the oil and don't overcrowd
- On medium heat, let the chips fry for a bit. Keep an eye to make sure that they are not browning.

- Take the chips off and drain on a paper towel
- Sprinkle the spice on top

Enjoy the crunchy home made ships with sandwich, burger, rice or just by itself.
